How To Get To Proserpine From Airlie Beach
Most visitors to the Whitsundays won't actually be staying in the small town of Proserpine, but in the bustling coastal town of Airlie Beach. However, the Whitsunday Coast Airport is located in Proserpine, making Show Whitsunday a convenient stop on the way to or from the airport.
If you are renting a car for your stay in Airlie Beach, you can drive yourself to Proserpine in just 30 minutes. However, Airlie Beach is a walkable town and you don't necessarily need a car for your stay in the Whitsundays. You can rent a car for a day if you want to explore more of the mainland and attend the Proserpine Show, which is a more affordable option!
Bowen Show 2025
For another action-packed community show around the Whitsundays mainland, consider checking out the Bowen Show! Bowen is a stunning coastal town about an hour north of Airlie Beach. Head up here to enjoy beautiful beaches, small-town charm, and the Bowen Show on Tuesday the 24th June 2025.
Held at the Bowen Showgrounds from 9am, the Bowen Show requires tickets with prices ranging from $5 for kids to $20 for adults. Complete with rides, games, entertainment, food, exhibits, and more, this is another amazing way to connect with the agricultural culture and community spirit of the Whitsunday region.
